Saturday Is the New Tuesday
Thunder Belly usually turns up on a Tuesday. This week it moved to Saturday, woke me at 6am, and stuck around into Monday with the eggy burps back for an encore.

A Bin for the Rest
The wife was out, so it was a chippy tea. A small fish and chips turned out to be plenty, and I actually left some chips. That's not like me.
What If I Buckle?
14 st 2 lb today. Two days running under the 200 lb mark now, which makes it harder to call a fluke. I'm pleased. I'm also quietly terrified of what happens if I can't keep this up.
A Teaspoon That Actually Works
I bought a kilo of peanut butter with nowhere to put it. Turns out a single teaspoon of the stuff does something no biscuit has managed: it actually makes the wanting stop, not just the eating.

I commute on Mondays, so I wasn't home all day. Didn't matter — I knew my wife had made stew before I'd even reached the front door. Turns out that's the one day of the week I'm glad to have missed it.
A KitKat That Stopped Calling My Name
There's a KitKat on my desk that's been there for longer than I can remember. I look at it, and nothing happens. I don't really know what that means. I'm just noting that it's odd.
